Profile:
Yorskshire-born (his father played for Yorkshire), Willis Cuttel plied his
trade in the Lancashire Leagues as an all-rounder. He played a couple of
times for Yorkshire but became a regular in the Lancashire side in 1896,
after he had qualified through residence. He prospered under the captaincy
of AC MacLaren, and in 1898 became the first Lancashire player to achieve
the double. Cuttell bowled slowish spin, turning the ball both ways, and
maintained an excellent length. He was a strong field, and a solid defensive
bat, capable of hitting hard when required. He played in just two Tests,
when he toured South Africa in 1898-99 under Lord Hawke and performed well
with the ball. On retirement he spent 20 years as coach at Rugby, and was
subsequently a first-class umpire for two seasons (DL 2000).
